This #bread is wonderful and amazing in flavor because of the one banana added to the mix. It will toasted very well in a bread toaster, for breakfast. Try to serve it with homemade jams and butters.
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 large ripe banana, broken into 1−inch pieces
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 cups bread flour
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
Filling
1 1/2 tablespoons softened butter
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons chopped pecans (or walnuts)
Mix milk with yeast, put aside for about 5 minutes.
Add the rest of the ingredients and let rise for about one hour.
When the dough is ready, turn it out onto a lightly floured board and punch it down. Let it rest a for a
few minutes. Roll the dough into a rectangle no more than 9 inches wide, or the length of your loaf pan.
Spread the softened butter over the dough.
In a small bowl, combine the the brown sugar, cinnamon and nuts. Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture
evenly over the dough. Roll up the dough, jellyroll fashion, starting with the short, 9−inch side, forming
a loaf; pinch the edge to seal.
Spray a 9 1/2−inch loaf pan with no−stick spray. Place the shaped loaf in the pan, seam side down.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until the loaf has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to
350 degrees F.
Bake the loaf in the preheated 350 degree F oven for 30 to 45 minutes or until the loaf is golden brown.
Turn out of the pan and place on a wire rack to cool.






What a lovely loaf – that swirl is beckoning me…and I definitely love the look of pb shmeared on top of a toasted slice. Just gorgeous. Thanks for adding it to the BYOB bread basket this month.
Your loaf is gorgeous, I can hardly bear to eat this. I would love to be able to make such a loaf!
Thank you!
The swirl in your bread looks just great, making each slice a real treat. Thank you for sharing this with BYOB.
Thank you!
H! I’m just curious that there is no other liquid to add to this mixture, usually bread has more liquid added to it. Does it work well without ? Thank you!
Hi Alice
Yes this a wonderful bread. The 2 eggs give enough liquid to form a gorgeous ball of dough to work into a nice and steady roll.
It is a wonderful bread! Your eggs must be bigger than mine, my hens only lay medium sized eggs.
It was necessary for me to add 3 Tablespoons of water to have all the flour come together in the loaf, but it turned out beautifully and so delicious! I will try using more banana or larger eggs next time. I love the banana flavor with the cinnamon.. Delicious.
Your bread looks wonderful! I really like the addition of the banana, both for flavour and texture.
